Letters You Never Sent

Carmine Bridges - Letters You Never Sent (Mr Silky's LoFi Beats)

The original version of this song by The Infinity Chamber has an attractive and captivating Pink Floyd vibe to it. That beautiful, melancholic style is what drew me to the song from the beginning. The lyrics, both provocative and moving, still leave me wondering and imagining.

The song depicts a bedroom scene through the eyes of a man who starts to doubt his relationship, his life and life in general and tries to step away from it all. The brutally honest way in which this epiphany of gloom was put into words, generates unexpected sympathy and aversion at the same time. Once the sadness behind the lyrics sinks in, you are helplessly building sympathy for both characters in the scene and that final: “I went and got pissed”, doesn’t even sound mean anymore. It sounds like he deserves the relief.

I hope my version of it does the work justice.

The Delicate Art of Reflection

Ebb and Flow

They gave me a plaque
and I gave them a shrug
Said I'd made it
but I still packed lunch in a mug

The mirror bowed politely
the inbox threw confetti
My name misspelled in bold
close enough to celebrate

I've got a title no one uses
a password I forget
My empire fits in folders
still waiting for respect

My paper crown bends in the rain
ink running down the royal face
Every rule I followed
spelled my name wrong anyway

But maybe that's the trick of it
meaning hides in the small print
The joke's on grand ambition
the punchline's in persistence

Because the crown is cheap
but it's mine
Cut from yesterday's plans
lined with coffee stains and time

It may not shine on stage
but it holds when the wind complains
It's proof I showed up
again
and again

My paper crown bends in the rain
but it catches the light just the same
Not gold
not perfect
but honest enough
Every crease is a story
every tear, tough

Maybe greatness was never loud
just someone staying kind
still trying
still around

We wear our paper crowns
the crooked, the flimsy, the proud
We wear them not for glory
but because we're still here
Still building something small
that somehow lasts

Yeah
Call it fragile
Call it foolish
but it fits

Paper Crown

Canción para Alejandro

Como el sol fuiste un suave amanecer
y el reloj se paró para verte nacer:
en tus ojos no cabía más amor.

La niñez te forjó como explorador
y el viajar te enseñó a mirar sin rencor:
no consiste en vencer sino en cómo convencer.

Estribillo

Vas creciendo y tu valía
la refrendas más cada día
pues el corazón te dicta el buen hacer.

Puedo ver también en tu alma
que el chaval con el que jugaba
 se quedó y nunca dejará de ser.

----------------------------

Cada vez siento más en tu forma de ser
el afán por saber y por la honradez:
¡los pilares que más falta hacen  hoy!

La niñez te forjó como explorador
y el viajar te enseñó a mirar sin rencor:
no consiste en vencer sino en cómo convencer.

Estribillo

No consiste en vencer sino en cómo convencer.
No consiste en vencer sino en cómo convencer.

Song for Alejandro

Like the sun, you were a gentle dawn,
and time stood still to witness your birth:
your eyes held no more love.

Childhood shaped you as an explorer,
and travel taught you to see without resentment:
it's not about winning, but about how to convince.

Chorus

You keep growing, and your worth
is reaffirmed more each day,
for your heart dictates what is right.

I can also see in your soul
that the boy I used to play with
remained and will never cease to be.

----------------------------

More and more, I feel in your character
the thirst for knowledge and for honesty:
the pillars most needed today!

Childhood shaped you as an explorer,
and travel taught you to see without resentment:
it's not about winning, but about how to convince.

Chorus

It's not about winning, but about how to convince.

It's not about winning, but about how to convince.

A tale of deceit and trickery and regret.

You don’t give a damn.
